The first time he sees her, it´s a party, and he senses something special in the air. He looks for the source of exuberance, and he is rewarded with only a fleeting glimpse of a woman in a minidress and sky-high stilettos, but she leaves in her wake an array of glorious contradictions: soft and cool, delicate and earthy. She is a star and he´s dazzled. He sees her again, at another party. It´s a benefit this time, an event marked by luxury and compassion. She passes his table with its iris centerpiece, and like the precious iris she evokes elegance and grace. She illuminates the room, and he wants to follow the light.

And he does, to a cavernous club, where the uptown girl has become a downtown diva. In leather jacket and ballerinas, in the sweet madness of the moment, she is an urban fairy, waving a bottle of champagne like a magic wand. She can dance on tables and sing on subway platforms and draw everyone into her bewitching aura. For one brief spell-binding moment, their eyes meet, and now he is completely enchanted.

Bendelirious is a starry, elegant, super-sexy perfume which reflects the type of glorious girl who shops at Bendel’s: the fizzy top notes are fun and joyous – champagne, cherry lollipops, and pink grapefruit. The classic floral heart contains orris, violet and rose on a rich sexy base of leather, vetiver, musk and tonka absolu. Bendelirious is sweet, warm, sensuous and above all witty: it’s the very thing to buck up a damp, dark winter and comes highly recommended to all those who are looking for something entirely original with zing and humour. It’s a Jean Harlow kind of a perfume...
